• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Only measurement of intelligence with any worth is the IQ test.

Not that there can't be multiple intelligences. Someone with a low IQ can easily compose more complex and novel music than someone with high IQ, but thus far we have no way of testing them to any real note worthy degree.

As far as IQ, I know they're starting to find specific gene variations that correlate with higher IQ.

Aww, thank you! Well, I'm not totally sure if I have the last two. Logical/mathematical: I'm really bad at math but maybe I'd be better at the logical part. Naturalist: I do like animals and enjoy nature and flowers, if that counts.

The world cup is coming around again.. just seems like yesterday the 2006 one happened.. that's like the only world cup I ever watched.. was in Canada at the time and people there actually seem to like soccer. So there was some excitement in the air.. found it kind of fun to watch.. although never watched a soccer game since. I guess there has been two other games since then.

Radical plan to split California into three states earns spot on November ballot

Radical plan to split California into three states earns spot on November ballot



Do you guys think this will go anywhere?
Well... California voted for pot and for paying $0.10 per grocery bag... anything is possible.
As far as this being a good idea... I’m not sure. How would this effect the economy? What are the benefits and do they outweigh the negatives?
I’m unlikely to vote yes unless I can be convinced that there is a great benefit overall.

Albert Einstein was a racist.. said east Asians are not good at math.. yeah not sure about that Einstein.. lol.
Well thats not fair to claim he is wrong or racist. Given the time in which he lived it may not have been racist but a factual statement (Just before a time of "Political Correctness").

Its easy to look back and say he is wrong through the eyes of today, but the Asian nations of today are NOT what they were in Einsteins life time (listed as 1879-1955).

Cultures change and if a culture is strongly centered on education on any number of subjects.... a lot can change.

Not sure if he was talking culturally or biologically.. regardless I don't really care about his statements.. certainly nothing shocking from someone living in the 1920s.
